Our first Centre for the Study of Higher Education research seminar will take place next week on Thursday 28 January.

Dr Dilly Fung, Director of UCL’s Centre for Advancing Learning and Teaching will be joining us to discuss:

Strength-based scholarship: pushing the boundaries of scholarship and self

What do we mean by ‘good’ education in research-orientated universities? How does this relate to research? And where do educational leadership and education-focused scholarship fit in? In this session I will draw on recent research (Fung and Gordon 2016) to argue that we have set up unnecessary barriers between these endeavours, when they can all have the same roots and values. We’ll discuss ways of breaking down these barriers and creating broader, more connected spaces for for our roles and lives.

This takes place in the UELT Seminar Room, 16.30 – 17.45.

I hope you can join us for what promises to be an interesting discussion.
